Basic information about Albania

Albania, on Southeastern Europe’s Balkan Peninsula, is a small country with Adriatic and Ionian coastlines and an interior crossed by the Albanian Alps.

The country has many castles and archaeological sites. Capital Tirana centers on sprawling Skanderbeg Square, site of the National History Museum, with exhibits spanning antiquity to post-communism, and frescoed Et’hem Bey Mosque.
Contrary to general perception, Albania is a very safe country with warm and helping people as reflected in the traditional Albanian expression Buke, Kripe e Zemer (Bread, Salt and Heart).

A growing
trend has become canyon rafting, bird-watching, cycling, mountain
biking, hiking, and off-road touring in the countryside. Other travelers
enjoy exploring the trendy area of Blloku, Tirana's entertainment
district which transfers along the Albanian Riviera during the peak
summer months. The adventurous Albanian railway system has been
described by many travel guides as a tourist attraction and a de facto
panoramic journey.
